Hi, I'm working on some new Smatch code and it complains about this
patch from last year. -Dan

----
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.

The patch 7414a03fbf9e: "btrfs: initial readahead code and 
prototypes" from May 23, 2011, leads to the following Smatch 
complaint:

fs/btrfs/reada.c:147 __readahead_hook()
	 error: we previously assumed 'eb' could be null (see line 122)

fs/btrfs/reada.c

   140		list_replace_init(&re->extctl, &list);
   141		for_dev = re->scheduled_for;
   142		re->scheduled_for = NULL;
   143		spin_unlock(&re->lock);
   144	
   145		if (err == 0) {
   146			nritems = level ? btrfs_header_nritems(eb) : 0;
                                  ^^^^^
Checked here again indirectly.

The assumption here is that if err == 0, eb is always != NULL. There's
even a tiny comment above the function stating this:

       107              /* in case of err, eb might be NULL */

This code changes significantly with the patch

btrfs: extend readahead interface

Where it is written in a more obvious way.

Ah, right.  I missed the comment.

Thanks for doing this kind of sanity checking :)
